Christmas Eve Festivities

New Year's Eve we were excited for our list of things to do. We had a big day planned. Nana & Bill, and Grandma and Grandpa Cluff were coming to play with us and spend the night! Everyone was so excited.

On our agenda:

Make gingerbread cookies with Nana
Decorate a gingerbread house
Make and Eat Pizzas!
Open Christmas Eve presents
Play Christmas Bingo
Play a game and read "The Night Before Christmas!"
Sing Christmas Carols
Watch Video about Jesus Birth (another present)
Leave Cookies/Milk for Santa & water for Rudolph
TO BED FRED!!!

Nana and Bill arrived around 3pm. The girls were so excited...Ryder too. :) We were hoping Grandma and Grandpa could be here by then too, but it didnt work out as we all planned :(. So first the girls and Nana made gingerbread cookies....as you can see...it was a hit!







Next, we moved on to Gingerbread House Decorating....


Then Pizza Making!!!
Viola!


Then Christmas Eve Gifts...Pjs! What else?




Next....Christmas BINGO...loads of fun...with m&ms. :)




"Twas the Night Before Christmas" Game (whenever you read the story and you say the word "the" you pass a present to the right...you get the one you end up with at the end of story!) :)





After our fun games, we sang Christmas songs while Jayda and I played the piano...that was fun.



(Our two Choristers!!!)


Next we watched a video about Jesus Birth..and then all that was left was to leave treats for Santa... (and a bowl of water for Rudolph outside...we hear that when he drinks it...his nose touches the water and leaves the water red....)


In the end it was a super fun day and we had so much fun with Nana and Bill and Grandma and Grandpa. Everyone stayed the night (sort of) and we were excited for Christmas Day!
